President Trump on ‘weighed in’ Donald Jr. statement …

The White House acknowledged Tuesday that President Trump worked on a disputed statement about his son’s meeting with a Russian lawyer, in an apparent break with comments made by the lawyers defending the president in the Russia investigation.

“The president weighed – in as any father would – based on the limited information that he had,” White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said.

Sanders was referring to a statement Donald Trump Jr. gave on July 8 about a meeting that is now a subject of various investigations into Russia’s involvement in the presidential election.
